I am honor to invite ICAC senior officers – Ms. Maggie LAM, Mr. Mexes WONG
and Ms. Hymmy LO giving guest talk to my students in courses named COMP 3511 –
Legal Aspects and Ethics of Computing and COMP 3512 – Legal Aspects,
Professionalism and Ethics of Computing in the Department of Computing, PolyU
on 24 Mar, 1 & 2 Apr 2026, respectively. ICAC guest talks aimed to equip
our students’ anti-bribery concepts and handle business ethical dilemma. The
first class was held on 24th Mar 2026, I presented appreciation
certificate to Ms. Maggie LAM after the talk.
She presented the topic named “Corruption Prevention & Integrity
Building”.
Many students participated the class.
During the guest talk, Maggie asked some questions for students vote
such as “advantage” money limit.
She discussed some ethical dilemma related to bribery.
Lastly, we took a photo together with all students.
On 1st Apr 2026, Mr. Mexes WONG gave a talk to my students
and I presented a certificate to him.
His topic entitled “Professional Ethics and Corruption Prevention for
students of TEI”
He discussed with students about Prevention of Bribery Ordinance.
The “4A” refers to the principles for determining whether the ordinance
has been violated.
Finally, Mexes stated that legal requirements were at a minimum, while
professional ethics were at a maximum.
We also took a group photo with participated students.
The last class was held on 2nd Apr 2026. I presented
appreciation certificate to Ms. Hymmy LO.
She explained the meaning of ICAC.
Then she introduced the structure of ICAC. There were three departments
included Operation, Corruption Prevention and Community Relation.
We attracted almost all the students.
An interesting case related
to a lecturer who seeking advantage from students!
The survey showed that most students did not consider loans an
"advantage." Hymmy then explained that only entertainment during the
event was not considered an "advantage."
Lastly, we also took a group photo with the students.
Three classes of students were belonged to the programmes “BSc (HONS)
Information Security”, “BSc (HONS) Computer Science” and “BSc (HONS) Enterprise
